Ronald Ferris was born in Bel Air, Maryland in 1956, and he served in the US Army from 1975 to 1979, reaching the rank of Sergeant. He went on to work as an attorney in Maryland, becoming an Assistant US Attorney during the late 1980s and being elected to the US House of Representatives during the 2000s. In 2016, he was elected President of the United States. Under Ferris, the Republican-dominated US Congress voted 26-1 in favor of agriculture research, 14-12 in favor of an income tax, and 23-4 in favor of an agricultural subsidy. In the 2016 House elections, the Republicans won 28.62% of the vote and 8 seats, the Progressive Democrats rose to 32.25% and 10 seats, the Tea Party rose to 19.14% and 6 seats, and the New Democrats rose to 19.99% and 6 seats. A gun control bill failed 17-7, but the Congress voted 11-9 to legalize prostitution, and voted 21-2 to approve public libraries. In the 2017 elections, the Democrats won 16 seats to the Republicans' 14, with the mainstream Democrats and Republicans rising in support. The Congress voted 26-1 to support free primary education, and Ferris was narrowly re-elected President a week later. Congress voted 15-7 against a land tax, the only law passed during Ferris' third term. In mid-2017, the New Democrats rose to 8 seats, while the Progressive Democrats also won 8 seats; they maintained their 16-14 lead over the Republicans. Ferris again won a close re-election.
